He said: “Our courier will ask for valid ID. No consumption, or sales of alcohol will take place in the premises.”

Oxfordshire County Councillor John Tanner, who represents residents in Gordon Street as part of his Isis council ward, said he wasn’t opposed to the idea, but questioned the need for the service to run 24 hours a day.

He said: “I think the licensing committee will want to be satisfied there won’t be disruption to residents, particularly if it’s going to be running 24-7.

“I would be unhappy with the idea of scooters and vans travelling in and out of quite narrow streets at 3am, but I wouldn’t rule out the idea altogether.”

If the bid is approved, the service won’t be the first in the city. The 247 Alcohol Delivery Service is already popular in the city and wider Oxfordshire.

My only concern would be licencing a business in a residentual area. The neighbourhood will probably suffer very badly.

Business good. Suffering neighbours Bad.

Whats wrong with a trading estate?

Er, it's a delivery service (for the whole of Oxford presumably). Where the office is is irrelevant.

Dick, there are two 24/7 off licences within a mile of professional complainer Mills and 5 food outlets open until 4-5 am. Norton is correct is his comment, as anybody local to her can get these services already. Or maybe you are correct and she can object to an office in Scotland that delivers to Oxford.

Gordon Street is a very small road in a heavily residential area.In order to obtain the alcohol at a competitive enough price to sell at a profit he will have to bulk buy,which will involve lorry or large van deliveries.I'm not sure what storeage he has,but it's unlikely to be huge,so deliveries will be frequent I imagine.I would also think that once it's known that large amounts of alcohol are stored there,the risk of attempted break-ins etc will rise,which will have an impact on people living in the street/area.Understa
ndably he's trying to do this without the cost of expensive premises to make it viable,but I can't see anyway that this won't have a detrimental effect on people living in the street.
